Desperately Needed: Audio

[Dr Steve]

I am desperately (well, maybe "desperately" is too strong a word...) looking for a copy of a song called "Carioca" by a comedy duo called "Jonathan and Darlene Edwards". It should have been released in 1977 or so, and was played over the credits on "Kentucky Fried Movie".

If it's for sale somewhere, I'd be happy to buy it...I've searched everywhere for this song. Otherwise, a digital copy would be delightful. :smile:

Thanks!

(It's the most perfectly awful song I've ever heard...)

Found a sample clip of it HERE (http://www.themadmusicarchive.com/samples/j/o/Jonathan_+_Darlene_Edwards_-_Carioca.m3u). Sounds like it's the first 43 seconds or so.

Their real names are Jo Stafford and Paul Weston. You might try looking under that.

They also have a collection of the two of them at the University of Arizona check here (http://web.cfa.arizona.edu/westonstafford/) for their main site. It appears to be mostly for research though.

I'd love to hear those Linda McCartney board-tapes.

It's on an album of theirs called SONGS FOR SHEIKS & FLAPPERS. Found a copy for sale on eBay HERE (http://cgi.ebay.com/Jonathan-Darlene-Edwards-Sheiks-Flappers-LP-Carioca_W0QQitemZ270321539254QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMu sic_on_Vinyl?hash=item270321539254&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C 240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50).

I also found a slightly longer clip you can download (for free), although it's still cut off at the end. It's the second of two songs on an mp3 file available HERE (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?1uuizphx3yy). (I Love Paris, Carioca.mp3)

The Carioca starts at about the 2:48 mark.
